Using Human Security Principles to Develop a Post-2015 Framework

2015 marks the deadline for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and it is widely recognised that simply renewing the goals in their current format will not be sufficient. A more analytical and inclusive approach is required. This could be achieved by using human security principles to underpin a post-2015 development framework that would express the values of freedom, dignity, equality, solidarity, tolerance and respect for nature articulated in the Millennium Declaration.
